The Internet and digitalization are fundamentally changing the way people, businesses and governments interact. This has led to a new phase of globalization underpinned by the movement of data across national borders, changing the nature, patterns and actors in international trade in goods and services.
However, despite the growing importance of what is commonly referred to as digital trade, little empirical and internationally comparable information currently exists, inhibiting a full understanding of the scale and policy challenges of digital Trade, which has in turn raised concerns about the capacity of current statistics to fully capture and separate identify this phenomenon. In the other words, in digital trade economy there is a remarkable gaps and many of its statistics are not enough to fulfill the demands. It has been growing in importance, and with it, demands for detailed statistics from a number of policy areas including market access, trade facilitation, opportunities for SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), regulation, competition, digital data flows and privacy has remained yet.

Beside, in this study some of the challenges like informal or semi-informal sectors toward digital trade will be addressed and an analysis on Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) conceptual framework and an inventory of current measurement practices on digital trade will be presented. Finally, a case study on economic account new digital trade activity and startup based on the internet platform in Iran will be illustrated to describe the exponential growth rate of these kind of e-commerce in Iran. Producing reliable and accurate official statistics in this case is highly desirable.
